Corrections Officer Casimiro Pomales was killed in an automobile accident as he and another officer transported an inmate to a medical appointment.

Officer Pomales was driving a prison van on the New York State Thruway, near Ulster, when it was sideswiped by another car. The impact caused the van to overturn. Officer Pomales, the other officer, and the inmate were transported to Kingston Hospital where Officer Pomales was pronounced dead.

Officer Pomales had served with the New York State Department of Correctional Services for over 22 years and was assigned to the Eastern Correctional Facility. He is survived by his wife and several grown children.

Dear Family of Corrections Officer Casimiro Maximino Pomales,

I am a support member of The Police Unity Tour.
During the tour this year I will be wearing a memorial bracelet in honor and rememberance of Corrections Officer Pomales.

I have read the many reflections sent by friends and strangers. I hope it is of some comfort that so many people care and share the pain of your loss.

There was a quote left in a reflection that said, " There is no tougher job in law enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer." That tells me that Corrections Officer Pamales was a hero.

I will be at the NLEOM around 2:00pm May 12, 2012 when the Police Unity Tour bicycles into the Memorial after 3 days and approximately 250 miles on the road. I will look for you near Corrections Officer Pamales' name and will be happy and proud to present you with the memorial bracelet that carries his name.

We are so proud to support, honor and remember Officer Pamales along with the other heroes whose names grace the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial walls.

Sincerely, Mary Young
